Chapter 61 Cold Weapon Combat

"Xingxing, follow my instructions completely from now on. Do not make any rash moves, understand?"

Qiao Mei and Xingxing had already connected via video call. Xingxing looked at the serious-looking boy on the other end of the video call, and her own anxiety was unconsciously stirred. She then nodded.

"Okay, tell me, what do you need me to do?!"

Qiao Mei brandished the two boomerangs that came with the Ghost Assassin mech. Her golden eyes were filled with fighting spirit as she looked up at the stars: "Now, immediately activate the chain cannons that I installed on the Flying Ape mech beforehand, load them with all the ammunition, and when I engage the opponent, fire them directly in my direction. Make sure you're accurate!!"

Why would anyone do this? Even if the Ghost Assassin mech is an A+ grade mech, it can't withstand this kind of abuse!

I don't quite understand what this Rose boss is trying to do either!

Xingxing didn't understand Qiao Mei's meaning either, but she still obeyed and did as she was told.

He hid behind the Ghost Assassin mech, which was almost a size larger than the Flying Ape mech, and as she charged toward the enemy, he raised the right arm of the Flying Ape mech, activated the rapid-fire cannon, and sprayed bullets at Qiao Mei's back.

The shells of a chain cannon take nearly five seconds to form, but their speed after firing is less than half a second.

The sound of the cannons firing was very clear, which alerted the group of opponents who were planning to besiege Qiao Mei.

But even so, it's too late.

Qiao Mei had already piloted the Ghost Assassin mech to them, carrying a total of fifteen cannon shells.

"Rumble..."

Fifteen artillery shells are quite powerful; they could easily destroy a city, let alone just a few mechs.

As the loud bang subsided, birds were startled and took flight in large numbers. A spectacular cloud of smoke, resembling a mushroom cloud, rose into the air. Xingxing saw the black and blue ghost assassin mech leap out of the smoke, followed by the anxious urging of Rose from the computer bracelet.

"Hurry!! Head to the open space a kilometer to the west. Once you get there, quickly summon the Goddess Mech, then use the Energy Repair Pack to recover your status. I'll handle the pursuers!"

The Ghost Assassin mech only suffered some damage to its outer skin, which was covered in some black dust. Overall, the damage level didn't even seem to be more than five percent.

Shu Qingqing's mouth formed an exaggerated "O" shape as she watched Qiao Mei skillfully and smoothly maneuver the Ghost Assassin mech to deal with the pursuers using boomerangs. Her voice even stuttered a little.

"This...you need at least five years of experience operating mechs to make them run this smoothly! And can anyone tell me how she managed to emerge unscathed from the bombardment of fifteen cannon shells?!"

This is not only Shu Qingqing's question, but also the question of the pursuers who are currently chasing Qiao Mei.

They weren't too close to the range of the artillery shells, giving them enough time to maneuver their mechs to dodge, which is why they weren't instantly killed by a single shot.

Even though they could deduce from this that the pilot of the Ghost Assassin mech was very strong, they were not afraid to back down, because if they did not take advantage of the opportunity when everyone was together to work together to defeat Qiao Mei, they would definitely be eliminated.

"What are you waiting for? Charge! She only has a pair of boomerangs; how can her two fists possibly beat our many hands?!"

"That's right. If we take her out now, we'll have a better chance of making it to the finals. Nobody wants to be eliminated so early, right?!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Mei retrieved the two boomerangs thrown by the Ghost Assassin mech, then opened the supply box and took out some ordinary C-grade melee weapons that were usually discarded by the contestants.

The reason why Class C cold weapons have a low usage rate is mainly because in the interstellar era, firearms have become the mainstream, and there are very few people who know how to use them. Over time, they have become like scrap metal.

But Qiao Mei is different. In the modern world she lived in before, cold weapons had not yet disappeared from the historical stage. In addition, she often used these cold weapons for combat training in the virtual mecha space in the modern world, and she was more comfortable using them than using firearms.

Soon, Shu Qingqing and the others saw that the spears, halberds, broadswords, long axes and other common but rarely used cold weapons seemed to come alive in the hands of the Ghost Assassin mech pilot. They were almost integrated with the mech, and she could handle close combat with ease when fighting against the group of opponents who were besieging her.

"Bang!!" Qiao Mei used her iron whip to whip up another A-level mech, slamming it to the ground. Watching its eyes slowly lose their light as it was deemed obsolete by the detection system, she put away her whip, looked at the few remaining A-level mechs, and said coldly, "Want to try again? Go ahead and give it a shot!!"

The A+ grade mechs that attacked her at the beginning and posed the greatest threat to her were all eliminated by the barrage of shells, leaving only the ordinary A grade mechs that were inferior to the Ghost Assassin mechs in performance and grade.

Facing these opponents, she still possessed the cold weapon combat skills she brought from her previous life, so she was not afraid at all.

Seeing that Qiao Mei had defeated so many A-level mechs in a row, and had been entangled with them for at least half an hour, yet her mental strength seemed to be largely unaffected, the group on the other side suppressed their urge to attack her again.

After all, judging from the current situation, if they continue to charge blindly, they will only suffer losses!

Qiao Mei had been separated from Xingxing for half an hour. She glanced at her opponents, who no longer dared to attack her, rubbed her head, which was throbbing from using too much mental energy to control the mecha, and then steered the mecha in the direction Xingxing had left.

At the same time, she should keep an eye on what's behind her to prevent her opponents from launching a sneak attack.

But the truth is, her extraordinary fighting prowess deterred them from continuing their pursuit, and they all breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

I don't quite understand where this formidable opponent, whom they've never heard of before, came from this year.

Xingxing had already increased the energy supply of the Goddess Mecha to 80% in the open space, but still hadn't seen Qiao Mei follow. He couldn't help but get a little anxious, so he tried calling her via quantum computer video again.

This time the call connected directly.

However, Qiao Mei's condition in the video was very bad. Not only was her face a little pale, but there was also some blood flowing from her nose and ears, which scared Xingxing so much that she showed a shocked expression (ΩДΩ) on her face.

"Rose, how did you do that? By the way, how did you manage to get out of that pile of artillery shells? I'm so curious!!"

Joe Bking Mei: Sorry, I have the cheat code of having memories of my past life, so I'm not afraid at all~
